We’re Convinced That We Can Mold Anything...Others Are Certain As Well

Are you a polymer developer? Have you developed a resin that you wish to make commercially viable but haven’t yet molded it?

Are you in R&D? Would you like to manufacture a product using a resin that no other molder will touch?

You’ve come to the right place. At HARBEC, we can figure out how to mold your specialty engineering resins.

If anyone can make it work, HARBEC can.

Innovative Molder

We’re Recognized by the Dow Chemical Innovative Molders Program
We have a hands-on history with most engineered and conductive resins. We understand that working with your unique parameters and characteristics is not a simple, “no-brainer.” However, we have the experience, expertise and confidence to develop the right processing techniques for your non-commodity resins and make them viable. HARBEC can also develop and machine any combination of materials on your behalf—materials that you may not otherwise be able to get off the shelf. We have over 200 different polymer blends in inventory and we also have some of the world’s entire supply of unique applications. By forming a solid puck prior to molding, we can utilize the right percentage of your needed materials (e.g., talc, glass, stainless bundled fibers). And we look forward to the future when we can work with biopolymers that come from renewable sources and we can mold-in microbes that are as strong as nylon (and will last for 25 years) but can be easily broken down.

B- Cost effective at concentration of 0.7% of load weight. FDA compliant, will not leach

Standard additives are engineered to work on many different types of plastics, including EVA, EVOH, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, nylons, PET, PETG, polycarbonate and PP.
It coats plastics to help biodegrade faster.

2855: high impact, higher strength, stiffness and ductility than 2955
3850: lowest flash, low warpage, higher strength, stiffness and ductility than 3950. High-performance polyamides (HPPA) are designed for structural components used in smart mobile electronic devices. They provide high strength, rigidity and a high-quality surface finish along with improved processing.
